Current and former Chargers team doctors David Chao and Paul Murphy have settled their expensive legal battle against each other, resolving an ugly dispute that cost Chao more than $1 million and disrupted their shared practice in June 2005.

Terms of the settlement were confidential. Their dispute flared into court in June 2005 when Chao sued Murphy, seeking an injunction after Murphy fired several employees and tried to kick Chao out of their OASIS sports medical office in Kearny Mesa.

Back then, Chao wrote in a court document that “people are wondering where I am practicing, if I have a place to practice, and why my practice appears to have imploded.”

OASIS has served the Chargers for two decades. The ongoing conflict was described by attorneys in the case as a “business divorce.” “They hate each other,” said an attorney familiar with the case.
